Only difference this time around instead of a 70/30 type crowd it will be 95/5 pro bison.
Don't like it, don't come. They're on the schedule, no need for it to be some distraction.
Can you explain why this is good for NDSU? Please show your work...it is much easier to show you where you have made a mistake...:)Quote:

It'll still be a massively pro-Bison crowd but I'd bet it'll be closer to 70/30 than 95/5. I'd also wager that for a good amount of UND fans in attendance this will be their first in-person UND football game in years.Quote:

Not me. I hope the Sioux get their ass kicked every week. I hate the Sioux and their arrogant asshole fans.Quote:

not sure if posted yet, but the line on the game is Bison -30 and 45 u/o.
Don't you have to be relivant and have some sort of success to be arrogant?Quote:

I don't speak for everyone, I am sure there are a great variety of opinions on this. For me, this is just another game and should be treated as such. NDSU will likely win, and probably will win by a couple touchdowns, but depending upon the individual matchups as well as who is hot (or cold) that day, UND might have an impressive showing. UND winning is not out of the question, though I don't think it likely.Quote:

I remember growing up in North Dakota and you go in a store and nothing was from North Dakota. North Dakota is starting to make an impact on a national scale because people are increasingly seeing that the competition is other teams (companies) in the United States. As was shown on the game on Saturday, the competition is some cases is the world (95% of North Dakota's soybeans are exported). As far as I am concerned the people of North Dakota do not need to return to the days when the seemingly most important thing was to be supreme in the state ... time to get rid of this parochial, local, narrow attitude for good. North Dakota people can compete on a national scale, and that (as far as I am concerned) is the better way to think - not just in football but in other things as well.
While I appreciate the NDSU fans, almost no matter where they are coming from, I disagree that the UND game is or should be held in a higher regard than any other game we have. And we do not need to revive the taunt that can be perceived as a racial slur - "Sioux Suck".
Good work. I agree.Quote:

I perceive "buffalo rider" to relate to beastiality, and take offense to it :)
I became a Bison fan during the 12 year run in the 80's. When the game was discontinued I was pissed. About 4 or 5 years ago I really didn't care anymore. The only way the Bison get anything from this game is if they blow UND out and ...if we somehow lost this game it would be the worst thing that has happened to this program in a long time .....but to say this game doesn't mean anything...well its Monday afternoon and this thread is rolling!
In reference to the RMU game. I agree that it was loud, but keep in mind that it was 12,000 fans that wanted to be there to be heard and make a difference. First playoff game in the Dome to after waiting for 18 years for that to happen. I feel the UNI game taught the average fan how to cheer at a home game and it was a different kind of energy because we were finally getting over the hump and beating those fools. Not really arguing a point here, just my opinion. As far as this weekend goes, I'll be missing this one for a friends wedding so y'all will have to tell me how it compares. I'm sure the boo birds will be louder than any we've heard in the Dome before.
noise peaked at 120 decibeles with consistent noise at 117 this past Saturday ....not too bad for an OCCQuote:

As Reggie Jackson once said, "They don't boo nobodies." I will be standing firm on this belief. They don't deserve to be booed. They haven't earned it. I hope most/all will follow suit.Quote:

Again, if we had a fledgling D1 hockey team (which we need about as much as we need a synchronized swimming team) would the Sue play us if we whined? Nope.
Let's cover the spread and light em up, figuratively speaking of course.
Lakes is trolling every tweet about UND...little does he know the more he tweets back the more it proves this does mean something....silence is best weapon if you truly don't care

For many of us, six home games plus the annual FBS game is more important than an NDSU/UND game. If FCS had 12 game schedules every year, then NDSU could have all three choices. But that's not the world we live in.Quote:

I hate close to everyone I know who went to UND. Pompous, arrogant, preppy assholes who think their university is the equivalent to Ivy League quality. They constantly degrade the quality of education at NDSU and legitimately think they are more intelligent and received a vastly superior education. They constantly refer to NDSU as the Ag school (somehow that is derogatory in their minds despite the fact that agriculture is king in the ND economy and NDSU is one of the premiere agricultural research universities in the world). They refer to their school as the Flagship (like that honestly fucking means anything in terms of importance today), basically to try to make their university sound like it is better than NDSU. Basically at the end of the day, the only thing I have to say to most UND fans and alumni out there is this ......Go fuck yourself. Sundogs suck shit. Always have. Always will.
5Dimes has it at 29.5 NDSUQuote:

I tend to agree with road on this one, it STARTED with the Bob Morris game. Those of us LONG TIME fans were screaming like we were at Dacotah Field stomping our feet in the bleachers making it THUNDAR (and trying to get warm). It was exciting and rewarding and it was the START of loud playoff football in the FFD.
Oh, and Whioux Suck!!!

So, where's the smart money? Und and the under?Quote:

But I totally agree with playing a national power. But newsflash, it's probably hard to get them to come to Fargo.
^^^This. Part of the fun of the 3 non-conference games is getting to play a different variety of teams, and the best game of the season is our FBS game. Playing un_ annually would be boring, pointless and stupid. I'd much rather play a 2nd away FBS game than play that game. Some of you want this back to bring back the old days or something. I'm sorry but we have something going better than the old days and there is nothing to be gained by playing them except giving them an opportunity to become relevant. As a Bison fan I would much rather see them stay an irrelevant dumpy program that doesn't offer recruiting competition in this area. Any program resurgence they experience would be to our detriment because this area isn't exactly a loaded recruiting hotbed. We don't need to be sharing anything with a "rival," and an annual game is nothing more than an attempt by some to make them relevant in the region. It's not ANY good for NDSU. Let them wallow and forget about them. We can do a whole lot better scheduling than that. If this game is close you will never hear the end of it in media throughout the region. I hope NDSU pulls a Boston College vs Howard on themQuote:

The guy is an embarrassment to NDSU.Quote:

It really seems like UND is winning by just playing it, everyone is talking about them and usually they live in obscurity since they play in a conference a thousand miles away. Really for me the only way to get satisfaction with this game is if the Bison absolutely dominate them. I am talking Moorhead State level domination, a beating so bad they don't want to play another game but that is going to be hard to pull off with a coach that understands the rivalry better than anyone on their side and his band of underdogs.
I think this game will be like the first mens basketball game but with way more energy. UND keeps it close for a while and then the Herd knocks them out in the second half. Bubba will have his team amped up but eventually the talent gap will be too much to overcome.
